TFW more than half of my phone's applications is getting thanos snapped and it's also carrier-locked

I've tried applying for jobs that didn't really require my degree but was adjacent to it like data entry and help desk after graduating unemployed, only to be met with more rejection and failure. It's as if my degree doesn't exist. Unless you have any suggestions for a job that only requires a non-specific degree, but I've heard having a degree in itself isn't valuable to employers at all unless it's related in some way to the job. Either way, I'm trying to stay motivated to make projects on the side to hopefully refine my programming even further, but not only do I don't have any ideas for projects that don't already exist, but I'm not fully convinced that it will be worth the time. Especially considering every other attempt that involved working and studying for many hours have blown up in my face so far.

You're so right. That's why I graduated with a degree in computer science with a 3.58 GPA whilst carrying my teams on projects and worked my ass off to apply to many jobs and internships during my education as well as learning additional skills not being taught to me on the side...only to be met with nothing but rejection after rejection without so much as an internview. Guess I should just work at Walmart for $14/hr because I'm a talentless hack that will never amount to anything. $70,000 well spent!

America is already well on its way to lose free speech as well. We have a secret police called "ICE" now, so it's only a matter of time unless the "resistance democrats" finally do their fucking job

I'm almost there. Everything I've worked hard has blown up in my face so far. It's getting harder and harder to convince myself that there's light at the end of the tunnel, especially since society is about to collapse

Yep, but cryptocurrency isn't dictating what you can spend with it...yet at least. So if no government does anything to help us, then we must adopt a cryptocurrencies like Monero to fight back against censorship as nothing more than a private citizen.

Why are you assuming I'm pro-capitalism? It was joke (thus the /j) because I found the framing of OP's argument strange because (at least to me) it seemed more like an argument for fuedalism than socialism.

I do now realize that I am incorrect with my initial assumption and thus I get why my joke wasn't very well received. I probably shouldn't have made it. Though I am confused as to why you made so many assumptions about my beliefs just from a dumb joke I probably shouldn't have made. If anything, I'm more anti-capitalism than pro-capitalism.

I was banned from Reddit as a "security precaution" which I assume means they didn't like the fact that my browser was always security hardened thus they couldn't track me to feed me ads.

I was already considering leaving for Lemmy, but when they straight up banned me for doing nothing wrong other than protect my privacy, that was the final straw. Mind you, I didn't even use Reddit that frequently anyway, which made me all the more baffled by their sudden decision with no warnings at all.
